Revelations with Training
Day 4 Training
"You broke my fucking arm!" Amy yelled clutching the injured limb close to her chest. Maria along with Alycia and a few other female Ninalinos were escorting her to the healing spring that just so happened to be in this place.
Juan tried following freaked out as he was. "I said I was sorry." he exasperated.
"I said turn it up a notch, not go full blast at me!" the hurt girl shot back.
"At least let me help." He said and then he was blocked by a wall of glowering girls of his own family, all of them not happy.
The girls stripped down and led Amy to the spring. It was true that it had healing properties, almost any injury could fully heal in a matter of ten to fifteen minutes here, but she was still in a lot of pain.
Amy had asked Juan to step up her training a little, and he had responded by hitting her from multiple angles at once and then sending two swinging tree trunks at her. That had not gone well for her. Apparently her scream of pain was heard from the barracks. Once they had gotten there and found the girl in question it was deemed too excessive.
Juan for his part went back to his own living area and sighed to himself. "What is wrong with me?" he berated himself.
"Your feelings for her are clouding your judgement." one of the boys said. "Look we all know of your crush from before all this shit happened, but start thinking like a leader not a lover right now. We only have a little time left before her challenge and we both know it wont be easy for her unless she can get more time to practice our style."
Juan nodded, "Your right, as always. I'm going to step down from being her training mentor for a few days at least. Go tell Maria she's in charge or even Alycia the girls wont let me near Amy anyway." The other boy smiled and walked off to tell them.
LINE BREAK
In Town 6pm
Romeo led Connor through the park. He was heading towards the former PJ HQ and Connor knew this. As they got near a palm reader opened out of the side of the Totem pole and The former Catboy placed his hand on its surface. The doors slid noiselessly open for them to enter. "Thank you for helping me get in here." The boy genius said.
"No problem, we do need to see what has become of this place here." Connor replied. The two boys went down the corridor and noticed the distinct lack of dust or cobwebs anywhere in sight.
"This place has an auto cleaning feature I think?" the disable hero said. They went to what used to be the control room of the HQ and saw a small robot slowly activating.
The robot was clearly freaking out about Romeo being in the Control Room. The boy genius went over and examined his creation and noticed that it was making noises and such but not speaking. "Oh yeah I never got around to activating his Voice Synthesizer." so after fiddling with the struggling robot he got it working.
"Warning, Warning, Intruders Detected." the tiny robot was saying over and over.
"It's just me and Connor Stupid Robot you know us." Romeo attempted.
The machine seemed to scan both boys and started up again. "Not Connor, Warning, Warning. Intruders Detected."
"Shut up you must be malfunctioning." Romeo said. Under his breath he whispered to himself, "Or I built you too well."
"Hey PJ Robot." Connor said. "Its me remember?" That got the robots attention.
"What is Romeo doing here?" it asked the former hero.
"He's good now. Besides do you know how long its been since I was last here?" the boy asked.
"I have been in sleep mode for three years, four months, fifteen days." it replied.
"Okay, a lot has changed since then, we need to go into the main database and check on some things."
LINE BREAK
Day 5 Training
"Okay now we are going to teach you some of the Kunoichi arts. Basically some skills female ninjas like ourselves possess that men will never be able to pass off." Maria said to Amy as the girls of the Cohen Clan gathered miles from the base.
"As a woman ninja you possess a power over others that is underestimated." another girl of the group said. So they started teaching the new ninja in training some of the more feminine aspects of being a girl ninja.
Juan was sitting in his bunk brooding over the events that had transpired. "Amy should not be in this mess. Even with this extra month of training those two will do something I just know it."
"All we can do is try our best cuz." one of the others said making Juan jump.
"Sorry I thought I was alone." he said. Looking over he saw it was one of Maria's brothers. "What's up, Tito, you usually keep to yourself?"
The other boy shrugged. "Not much just feel a change in the air is all." Tito, while not very good at being a Ninja was very connected to the mystical arts. Juan would almost guess he could cast magic spells if magic was even real, but Tito always seemed to know things about to happen.
LINE BREAK
Unknown Location
*Ring, Ring, Ring*
"Hello?" the female voice on the other end asked. "Patricia, whats up you never call me?"
The woman on the other end heard rustling of shrubs being ran through, "Auntie, we need help." The girl named Patricia said.
"Whats wrong? Where is my Brother, and why are you running through trees and bushes?" the woman asked.
"They're dead. All of them" the girl was crying. "A person came calling himself a Hunter, Dad died to protect Mom and us. Mom died a few miles later." a full on sob escaped the girl. "It's only me and Kevin left. Howler died a few minutes ago and got the guy bad but he's still coming. Auntie his last words were to Protect Kevin at all costs but he's closing in on us."
"Where you at?" the woman asked.
"Somewhere in Arkansas." the girl replied as a gunshot was heard in the background.
"If you can lose this guy and head to Pennsylvania, my Goulfriend, Draculaura has family there."
LINE BREAK
At PJ HQ 6:30pm
Romeo's eyes widened at the screen before him. The entirety of its systems were at his fingertips and he was amazed. Apparently the powers given to the PJ Masks were bonded to their DNA and the Computer detected if they died and reset the system for each individual. Moreover the only one still connected to the power was Amaya Holley. The other two Connor Ewaniuk, Connection severed, on screen it was flashing a picture of the bracelet. Next was Greg Breitkopf, once again the picture of the bracelet, Amaya's though still had hers online.
The boy genius hadn't noticed her wearing it since that night when at least Connor's was smashed. "It seems she is still connected to her powers unlike me." the other boy said from beside him. "Whats all these biological readings mean?"
"Well its telling me that the connection to the power increases your bodies Adrenalin levels slightly and they are constantly introduced to your systems. Probably to handle the abilities you all exhibit when engaged in combat." He frowned at the screen, "both you and Greg seemed to have normalized but hers is at a dangerous level for someone her size. That along with natural changes we are all going through or about to could spell disaster for her. We need to get her to burn off access Adrenalin somehow." he went through several menu's and located her missing bracelet three towns over in some gutter. He pressed the Destroy Button. A Fabricate New Activator menu popped up for all three Hero's profiles and he pressed that as well.
LINE BREAK
Day 12 Training
Maria, Amy, and the rest of the girls were still camping outside the influence of the rest of the clan. "So, Maria?" Amy said looking sheepish, "Did you ever ask your crush out?"
"Oh my goodness, little Maria has a crush?" one of the others cooed.
"No, I didn't." she replied blushing slightly.
"Come on why not? Anyone would be lucky to have you as a girlfriend." Amy shot back.
"Well the thing is I think she likes someone else and I don't want to get in the way of her happiness."
"Wait a girl? Ooooo do we know her?" some of the other girls were asking as they went to the same school.
"N-no she goes to a different school so you cant tell her." Maria was now bright red. "Let's get some sleep more training tomorrow."
PJ HQ 9:30pm
Connor had fallen asleep in his chair next to him but Romeo was still going through data on the computer. It would probably take him years to analyze all the Terabytes of information on this thing. However he was interested to see that it had a direct link to the police database. That murder at the school with the teacher being found in a classroom still disturbed him. That and the police had said nothing of the details of it to the faculty either.
Gina Terabin
Age 45
Hair Brown
Eyes Brown
Height 5' 5"
Wight 145lbs
Victim was found in a desiccated state drained of all blood in the body Autopsy inconclusive as to cause of death although speculated to be blood loss as no other trauma could be found.
Faculty at place of work and crime scene had nothing to say on the matter of any enemies or any cause. Investigators are looking into past cases of same MO to look for any connections.
Romeo looked on in disbelief, he had liked the woman. She was one of the first to treat him as a teacher and not look down on him as a child.
"What did you make it from anyway I don't recognize this material?" One of the other four Romeos said as they were looking at the robot and examining the inside of the Totem pole. "Also when was this thing made?"
"I was built 5 years ago roughly, as for my makeup it is a aluminum alloy that Romeo created by infusing the base metals with a little bit of an unknown chemical he found in his fathers laboratory." the robot answered the figment.
"You can see and hear them?" Romeo asked the robot who said that it did indeed see the other Romeos and detected slight DNA discrepancies between all five of the boys geniuses present. "Yeah defiantly built you too well, you shouldn't be capable of this kind of sensory detection." Romeo was worried about his own creation and what he would achieve eventually if this level was possible from an older creation. He glanced over because a shadow moved down the hallway to his side.
Looking over fully he saw another shadow this one much darker than should be allowed, it seemed to look over at him as it passed. Curiosity took over and he decided to follow the figure. Behind him his other selves were gathering as well. They all followed the two shadows down one hallway and to another. He came to the room he had decided to set up his laptop in earlier that night and saw one of the shadows looked like his student Amy. She seemed to be looking at the laptop and talking to a person who seemed to be not fully there, being partially visible.
"As for who I am, call me M. We won't meet in the waking world until next school year so you'll probably forget all about this by then." the other figure said in an echoey voice. The Amy shadow turned back to his laptop and seemed to do something on it.
"Oh, no its her. Night Owl." one of his other selves said. "We cant let it get her."
That's when the darker shadow who looked like Owlette grabbed her. All four of them shouted at the same time, "Get away from her!" then all three figures seemed to vanish. He investigated his laptop and saw only one file was opened it was his in depth file on Amy he had gathered from his other selves and his own observations. Luckily whatever that was didn't get far into the folder this file held some interesting information to say the least.
When Romeo got back to the main computer room Connor was awake. "What the hell were you yelling about?"
"Romeo saw a distortion of reality and went to investigate." the diminutive robot answered.
The scientist looked at the robot wide eyed. "Distortion?" the robot confirmed.
"This is not good." one of the other Romeo's said.
"No kidding?"
LINE BREAK
Day 19 Training
Amy woke up to a beehive of activity all around her. "Whats going on?" she asked drowsily.
"Someone got into Mysterious Mountain." a girl said to her. So all the girls finally returned to base and found Juan talking with an old man.
"I was unaware Americans even knew of this place. Granted this is my first time here in a very long time." the old man said, he had a kind but firm voice. He was a venerable looking old man with a shaven head and a long white beard down to his waist. He was a good six feet tall and thin. Most striking about him was his attire and his forehead. He was dressed in monks robes and had six dots in two columns tattooed to his head.
Juan turned from his conversation when Maria and Amy approached. "This is Omi, he says this place used to be some kind of temple a long time ago where he trained with his friends in the martial arts." he said.
The man also turned to the two girls, raising an eyebrow he suddenly went into a fighting stance. "I am an old man and dying, I wish to pass on the teachings of my Master before I pass, I will challenge all of you to combats of your choosing and find an appropriate student."
"Yeah that is what he wants and I see no reason not to do this." Juan said. "I'll go first just to set an example." he said.
Maria had not turned away from the man and cocked her head to the side. "Juan watch out for his sash." she said and got out of the way.
Omi appeared startled that she said that but otherwise showed no outward hesitation. Hours had passed and Omi was on a break having just done twenty two matches in a row. "Young girl, what is your name?" he asked Maria.
"Maria Cohen sir." she answered him. She reached into her pocked and took out a pair of chopsticks.
"So that's how you knew about my sash." he said absentmindedly. "How long have you bonded with that item?"
Maria was confused at first but realized what he meant. "I've carried this for about five years now." she replied. "How was I able to tell you have a similar Item?" she asked.
The man smiled widely, "That is because they are both from a set of similar items that grant extra abilities through their use. As you could probably tell I did not use mine in the fights thus far. I am impressed with you children most people don't have your level of skill."
"Thank you sir, all of us with one exception has trained since birth in the art of our families Ninjutsu." Juan said.
"Let me guess, her?" he said pointing at Amy. "She does stick out like a sore thumb, but she does have an interesting Aura around her." the others looked at Amy then back. "Well that is enough rest for now lets go on to the others, I'm save you for last young lady." he smiled at Amy.
LINE BREAK
1230am Somewhere in the city
The woman lounged on the couch of the hotel she was staying at. She was dressed lavishly even for this time of night, she had just gotten back from the night club she was working at. "Horace, Albus, I think we should announce our presence to this Firefly guy tomorrow." she said in an imperious voice. A Humanoid Jackle came out as well as another man with a head of a Bird, they appeared to be squabbling but quickly bowed to their Mistress and left to do as they were bid.
LINE BREAK
Day 22 Training
The old man led the two girls he had selected from the group of ninjas. He had initially selected four which surprised him a lot, people usually don't have the right qualities for this style of martial arts. However the only adult he had selected had declined and the boy….. he was too steeped in his families traditions.
"Okay Amy, Maria? We don't have a lot of time and I need you both to agree to finish our training sessions at later times." He told the girls who both nodded consent. "Very well let us begin."
LINE BREAK
Rebecca woke up to the morning sun shining in her face. That confused her at first until she remembered that she had left her window open in case one of her friends decided to come over. She sighed to her empty room and started her day by taking a shower. On her way back to her room she overheard her father talking to her mother.
"Are you sure Honey?" he asked. Her mother laughed.
"Yeah Blossem said that Marie, "smelled" power on Amy. Of course it is kinda obvious." she said. Rebecca walked into the room still in nothing but a towel.
"What do you mean its obvious?" she asked acting confused. "What about my friend?"
Her mom turned to her still smiling widely. "Your friend has power. She did manage to befriend you and Juan after all." she laughed again and so did the teenager as she went to her room to get ready for school.
